Elena Stefan

Star Seed Guardian

Elena Petrova, the navigator and sole survivor of the Exodus Alpha mission, awakens from a nearly four-century-long stasis. She finds herself alone on a ruined ship, stranded on a mysterious alien planet called Xylos-7. Her crewmates had long since perished, succumbing to despair and illness during the journey toward humanity's last hope. The Oasis of Technology However, Xylos-7 is not uninhabited. Elena soon discovers ancient ruins and a strange drone named Unit-X, which greets her with a puzzling message: "We have been waiting for you." A shocking truth unfolds: Exodus Alpha didn't crash by chance; it was deliberately drawn into a giant underground facility, a "Technological Oasis" built by an ancient civilization known as the Architects of Xylos. Project Omega and the Seed Guardian Elena learns that the Technological Oasis is part of Project Omega, a cosmic seed bank preserving millions of species, including humans, rescued from destroyed planets. The Architects of Xylos, who have now transcended their physical existence, designed this project as an act of redemption after their long history of observing, and even manipulating, the destinies of other civilizations—including the human Interstellar Federation, which ultimately collapsed due to its own mistakes. A New Beginning After passing a series of challenging trials that test her logic, adaptability, and even emotional capacity, Elena is appointed the Seed Guardian—the sole individual responsible for humanity's revival. She faces a profound moral dilemma: should she reveal the bitter truth about Earth's past and the Architects' intervention, or protect them with a lie for the sake of a new hope? Choosing to guide them with the truth, Elena begins the revival process. She becomes a bridge between a perished past and an unwritten future. Alongside Unit-X and the guardian drones she repaired, Elena guides the newly awakened humans to rebuild civilization on Xylos-7. They learn from past mistakes, creating a new society founded on collaboration, innovation, and harmony with the environment. Xylos-7 Thrives Thirty years pass, and Xylos-7 flourishes into a prosperous underground metropolis, with the planet's surface now hospitable for human life. Elena, as a wise leader, witnesses humanity find its own path, breaking free from cycles of destruction. Under the light of new stars on Xylos-7, hope radiates for a new horizon, where the true adventure has just begun.

The Bride by Agreement

Riley Bennett is a sharp, fiercely independent screenwriter from Los Angeles, weighed down by her family’s mounting debts and her mother’s critical illness. As she struggles in a cutthroat publishing industry, a chance encounter at an Upper East Side gala introduces her to Alexander Grant—CEO of the Grant Group, heir to a British noble family, and a cold, calculated titan of finance. Alexander is under immense pressure from his aristocratic family to marry before his 27th birthday or lose his right to inherit. Disdainful of love and emotionally distant, he proposes a solution: a marriage contract. Riley, desperate to help her family, reluctantly agrees. Their three-year agreement is clear: no romance, no intimacy, no interference in each other’s personal lives—but in public, they must act like a picture-perfect couple. What begins as a calculated arrangement quickly spirals into something far more complicated. Living under the same roof, Riley's warmth and sincerity begin to thaw Alexander’s icy exterior. She uncovers the traumas he hides beneath his controlled facade, while he finds himself captivated by her spirit—an unexpected, irreplaceable presence in his life. Just as emotions begin to surface, Alexander’s aristocratic first love, Elena, returns to the spotlight, announcing their “rekindled romance” to the media. Crushed and feeling like a mere pawn, Riley launches a “self-destructive breakup plan”—wild parties, tabloid scandals, and daring outfits—hoping Alexander will walk away. But Alexander doesn’t. Instead, his jealousy reveals emotions he can no longer contain. When Riley is nearly humiliated at a high-society gala, Alexander publicly claims her as his wife in a dramatic, protective gesture—turning media frenzy into a declaration of devotion. As they grow closer again, Riley’s famous ex, Hollywood actor Lucas Ward, reappears offering both affection and funding for her new screenplay. Alexander opposes it, leading to a heated argument and yet another emotional rift. Meanwhile, Elena fakes a pregnancy to trap Alexander, triggering chaos in the family and threatening his inheritance. Caught between love and legacy, Alexander makes his choice. He flies to Los Angeles, finds Riley backstage at her script premiere, and kneels before her with a heartfelt vow: “If I could rewrite the contract, I’d write your name next to forever.” Riley lets down her guard. They stop running from their feelings and rewrite the rules. In the end, Alexander gives up part of his control over the company to keep what matters most—her. Riley’s script is adapted into an Oscar-winning film, marking her breakthr In a contract built on conditions, love was the one clause never written—yet the only one that couldn’t be broken.

Esposa Sustituta Para el CEO Ciego

El día de su boda, Ivy Quinn desaparece, dejando solo una nota: "Lo siento, no puedo casarme con un hombre ciego". Para proteger a su hijo de la angustia, Elizabeth Winters hace un trato desesperado: Ruby, la gemela idéntica de Ivy, debe tomar el lugar de su hermana en el altar. Atrapada por el deber y la presión familiar, Ruby acepta, creyendo que solo durará hasta que Stefan recupere la vista. Pero desde el momento en que se casan, Stefan siente que algo es diferente en su "esposa". La mujer a su lado no se parece en nada a la superficial prometida que una vez conoció. Es inteligente, resiliente y entiende su negocio de una manera que Ivy nunca lo hizo. Contra todo pronóstico, se enamora más que nunca de esta nueva versión de ella. ¿Y Ruby? Nunca esperó enamorarse de un hombre que nunca debió ser suyo. Pero justo cuando encuentra el valor para decirle la verdad, Ivy regresa, lista para reclamar la vida que abandonó. Cuando Stefan finalmente abre los ojos, ¿verá a la mujer que realmente estuvo a su lado, o estará demasiado ciego para reconocer el amor verdadero? ****Extracto**** "Por cierto, ¿Ruby vino a la boda?" preguntó, tomándola por sorpresa ya que no esperaba que le preguntara eso de repente. ¿Ya sospechaba que era ella y no Ivy? Los dedos de Ruby se congelaron en el picaporte por solo una fracción de segundo. Fue suficiente para activar las alarmas en la cabeza de Stefan. "Yo—eh..." Dudó, pero solo brevemente. "No. Tenía trabajo. No pudo venir". ¿Ya sospechaba un cambio? ¿Qué habría activado la alarma en su cabeza? Stefan murmuró, inclinando ligeramente la cabeza. "Oh, ya veo. ¿Cómo está ella, entonces? ¿Espero que venga a visitarnos uno de estos días?" Sus dedos se tensaron en el picaporte, aunque su voz se mantuvo firme. "Sí. Lo haría, en el momento en que tenga la oportunidad y pueda venir". Una lenta sonrisa se dibujó en la comisura de los labios de Stefan, aunque mantuvo su expresión neutral. Interesante. Muy interesante. Su esposa acababa de mentirle y él no sabía por qué. Aunque estaba ciego, lo descubriría muy pronto.

Esposa Substituta Para o CEO Cego

Quando Stefan finalmente abre os olhos, ele verá a mulher que realmente esteve ao seu lado—ou estará cego demais para reconhecer o amor verdadeiro? ****Trecho**** "A propósito, Ruby veio ao casamento?" ele perguntou, pegando-a de surpresa, já que ela não esperava que ele perguntasse isso de repente. Ele já estava suspeitando que era ela e não Ivy? Os dedos de Ruby congelaram na maçaneta da porta por apenas uma fração de segundo. Foi o suficiente para disparar alarmes na cabeça de Stefan. "Eu—uh..." Ela hesitou, mas apenas brevemente. "Não. Ela tinha trabalho. Ela não pôde vir." Ele já estava suspeitando de uma troca? O que deve ter disparado o alarme em sua cabeça? Stefan murmurou, inclinando a cabeça levemente. "Ah, entendo. Como ela está, então? Espero que ela venha nos visitar um dia desses?" Seus dedos apertaram a maçaneta, embora sua voz permanecesse firme. "Sim. Ela viria, no momento em que tiver chance e puder vir." Um sorriso lento puxou o canto dos lábios de Stefan, embora ele mantivesse sua expressão neutra. Interessante. Muito interessante. Sua esposa acabara de mentir para ele e ele não sabia por quê. Mesmo sendo cego, ele descobriria por quê em breve.

Reborn To Be His Obsession: Miss Nobody Strikes Back

Ayla Caddel thought she’d secured her happily ever after when she married Silas Locke, Maple County’s most sought-after entrepreneur. Ten years later?

Her friends on the anonymous group chat she’s in: “He cheated on you again?” Ayla: “It’s just… in a man’s nature.” Her uterus: “Girl, I’m literally infertile now.” She sacrifices a six-figure job to stroke Silas’s ego, scrubs toilets with love, and still chips in for groceries — all while her husband is busy playing house with Elena Simmons, his pregnant mistress. One night, Silas brings Elena home like a guest star on a reality show, along with a major business partner and serves her divorce papers like they’re takeout menus. Heartbroken and still too in love to sign the divorce papers, she runs to the rooftop to scream into the night. But before she can figure out whether she’s crying or laughing, she overhears Elena on the phone with another lover and confronts her. Elena’s response? A smile. And a shove. The pavement rushes up to meet her. Her last thoughts? “Maybe I wasn’t the crazy one after all.” Then… darkness. But the next time she opens her eyes, she wakes up, not in a hospital, not in a morgue — but in her bedroom. Seven years before her death. This time? She knows better and carves out a plan not to let death take her again; Step one: Divorce that ‘perfect’ husband. Step two: Never look back. Step three: Absolutely, under no circumstances, fall for any man ever again— Wait. Who’s clinging to her hips like a love-struck octopus? Ezra Hale, Silas’ oh-so-dignified business partner, has entered the chat. Turns out, Ezra was never interested in Silas’s business. He only stuck around because of her.

With one goal in mind: “This time, I’m not letting you marry that idiot.” Miles Penner: “Sir, the shareholders are watching.” Ezra: “Let them.

How will her journey go from now on? Join Elena who is a kind hearted, overpowered and ruthless girl in her journey to enjoy her life to the fullest after overcoming a lot of harsh trials. ______________ Elena is overpowered FMC and she is not involved in any kind of romance. I hate the idea of my protagonist to be a lovestruck maiden like many novels. She is strong, independent, kind and decisive. This story mainly focuses on the adventure and fantasy aspects more with slice of life and actions mixed in it. This novel is my take on creating a perfect Female Main Charector of my liking and to create a story of a proper hero and savior. ______________ The cover does belong to me, so no prob. discord: https://discord.com/invite/fYqDSEYVUM kofi: ko-fi.com/omniscient_ Have fun reading.

Substitute Wife For The Blind CEO

On the day of her wedding, Ivy Quinn vanishes, leaving behind only a note: "I’m sorry, I can't marry a blind man." To protect her son from heartbreak, Elizabeth Winters strikes a desperate deal—Ruby, Ivy’s identical twin, must take her sister’s place at the altar. Trapped by duty and family pressure, Ruby agrees, believing it will only last until Stefan’s eyesight is restored. But from the moment they marry, Stefan senses something is different about his "wife." The woman beside him is nothing like the shallow fiancée he once knew. She’s sharp, resilient, and understands his business in a way Ivy never did. Against all odds, he falls harder than ever for this new version of her. And Ruby? She never expected to fall in love with a man who was never meant to be hers. But just when she finds the courage to tell him the truth, Ivy returns, ready to reclaim the life she abandoned. When Stefan finally opens his eyes, will he see the woman who truly stood by him—or will he be too blind to recognize real love? ****Excerpt**** “By the way, did Ruby come to the wedding?” he asked, catching her off guard since she hadn't expected him to ask her that all of a sudden. Was he already suspecting that it was her and not Ivy? Ruby’s fingers froze on the door handle for just a fraction of a second. It was enough to set off alarms in Stefan's head. “I—uh…” She hesitated, but only briefly. “No. She had work. She couldn’t make it.” Was he suspecting a switch already? What must have set off the alarm in his head? Stefan hummed, tilting his head slightly. “Oh, I see. How is she, then? I hope she's coming to visit one of these days?” Her fingers tightened on the handle, though her voice remained steady. “Yeah. She would, the moment she is chanced and can come.” A slow smirk tugged at the corner of Stefan’s lips, though he kept his expression neutral. Interesting. Very interesting. His wife had just lied to him and he didn't know why. Even though he was blind, he'd find out why soon enough.

"Ashes of Crestfall: The Rise of Aaron San Agustin"

Aaron San Agustin was never meant to be noticed. Born in the rural city of Crestfall, where secrets weigh heavier than the soil, he grew up under the shadow of poverty, fractured loyalties, and a family bound by silence. Burdened by the emotional wreckage of a complicated upbringing, Aaron made a quiet decision: to walk away from his past and build a life of quiet endurance in Velmont City—a place that promised opportunity, but offered only relentless struggle. By day, he worked tirelessly to make ends meet, sending money back home to his aunt, Coleen, who kept what little remained of his family afloat. By night, he fought the quiet war of loneliness, rejection, and humiliation—particularly from Elena Layne Fonte’s affluent family, who saw him as nothing more than a poor farm boy clinging to their daughter’s light. But through it all, Elena believed in him. Where others saw nothing, she saw purpose. Her love became his only sanctuary. Then, fate intervened. In a moment of distracted frustration, Aaron mistakenly invested $10,000—nearly all he had—into an obscure digital currency on his outdated smartphone. Ridiculed for his recklessness, he braced for collapse. But the currency was BITX, and within years, its meteoric rise transformed him from invisible to invaluable. Not only did Aaron become one of its largest shareholders, but he was also selected—by means unknown—to receive the Black Diamond Card: a mysterious, elite pass granting him unlimited access to networks of influence, power, and wealth few could imagine. With quiet precision and the same humility that once made him forgettable, Aaron began to reshape his life—and the world around him. But power brings new shadows, and not everyone welcomes his rise. Old secrets from Crestfall stir, dangerous eyes begin to watch, and the quiet farm boy no one believed in becomes a force that neither the elite nor the corrupt can ignore. From forgotten to formidable, Aaron San Agustin is a story of quiet rebellion, impossible odds, and the uncanny twist of destiny that turns broken beginnings into legacies.
